Title: Electrical indicator device for a motor vehicle
IPC: F02B77/08
Filed: 1978-09-28
Abstract: The device indicates whether functions such as lights (14 to 16, 21 to 24 and 29), lubrication, and cooling system in a motor vehicle are serviceable by means of a common indicator lamp 36 indicating that all functions are operational and individual indicator lamps 37 indicating which function is out of action. This is achieved by means of threshold comparator circuits 35 which compare inputs 12, 19, 26 or 31 with threshold values and supply an output either to the common lamp 36 or to a respective lamp 37. Operation of switches 32 is dependent on the condition of functions such as lubrication and cooling. <IMAGE>

Title: Transferring stalks in a combine harvester
IPC: A01D57/22
Filed: 1978-09-29
Abstract: The disclosed combine harvester gathers and mows the stalks of a growing crop in an upright attitude. The mown stalks are first transferred in the upright attitude at a speed that varies with the speed of the harvester and are subsequently delivered to threshing apparatus in a sideways attitude at a constant speed. The change in attitude and speed is effected in two stages. An intermediate transfer device, such as a chain belt 19, runs at the variable speed and changes the attitude of the stalls from upright to sideways. The intermediate device delivers the sideways positioned stalks to a constant speed transfer device 2 leading to the threshing apparatus. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2012438-A (GB)
Title: Method and Apparatus for Pneumatically Charging a Scale with Flowable Materials
IPC: G05D11/04
Filed: 1978-12-21
Abstract: Flowable material is entrained in an air stream and conveyed into the container 1 of a container-type scale. When the scale 2 senses that the weight of admitted material is approaching the preset desired weight it causes a reduction in the material flow. This lighter flow then continues until the preset weight is reached, at which time the admission of material into the air stream is terminated. The air stream, however, continues to flow until all or substantially all material still present in the conduit at this time has been conveyed into the container to be weighed along with the remainder of the container contents. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2039489-A (GB)
Title: Powdered modified epoxy resin
IPC: C08G59/14

Patent GB-2019516-A (GB)
Title: Brake Control Valves
IPC: B60T15/04
Filed: 1979-04-24
Abstract: A dual circuit control valve has a balance piston (17) disposed between two pressure change chambers (10, 26). The balance piston (17) carries the two outlet seats (9, 22) of the two control valves. A restoring spring (18) is installed between the balance piston (17) and a piston (6) which is movable by way of a spring (5) by the actuating linkage (2). A leading spring (30) which is supported on a fixed housing wall (1') acts upon the other side of the balance piston. This leading spring (30) is stronger than the restoring spring (18). As a result, apart from full braking, a specific pressure difference is produced over the entire pressure range regulated by the control valve. The dual-circuit control valve is usable as a dual-circuit braking valve for motor vehicle brake systems where the important factor is for the pressure in one brake circuit to be in advance of the pressure in the other. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2033133-A (GB)
Title: Tensioning recording tape
IPC: G11B15/43
Filed: 1979-02-21
Abstract: The disclosure is the same as that of application 2015230, but the claims are concerned with the fact that during recording and/or reproduction the coaxial cassette reels are differentially driven to tension the tape by means of an electric motor (not illustrated). The motor rotor thus drives gear ring 34 through a gear train and drive shaft, while the stator is non-rotatably hinged to the other gear ring 37 by a hollow shaft which accommodates the rotor drive shaft. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2043991-A (GB)
Title: Method of fabricating a dispenser cathode
IPC: H01J1/28
Filed: 1979-11-20
Abstract: A dispenser cathode is fabricated by sandwiching a reservoir 12 of electron emitting material between a perforated metal foil 11 and a support structure 13. The electron emitting material is in the form of a pellet of barium oxide impregnated with a wax or resinous material to minimize chemical reduction of the barium oxide in air. During tube bakeout or subsequently during cathode activation, the wax or resinous material evaporates and barium oxide migrates through the apertures to cover the surface of the foil in a uniform manner. The desired pattern of apertures in the foil is achieved by photolithography, or by forming the foil (e.g., by chemical vapor deposition, sputter deposition, evaporation, or sintering) on a substrate containing an array of protruding posts. With either technique for forming the apertures, a shadow grid can also be formed as an integral part of the cathode surface by depositing a layer of oxygen scavenging material such as zirconium or graphite on a selected portion of the cathode surface. <IMAGE>
